Can the government trace me through IP address without warrant?

I am a government employee and filed a complaint against a government officer for misbehavior and incompetency through Gmail, without disclosing my name. I want to know if the government can trace me by my IP address through Google and access my Google account information without a court order or warrant. I’m concerned that they may punish me, as I am also a government employee.

The government can trace your IP address only with a court order or warrant. If you sent the complaint anonymously, it’s unlikely they can trace you without legal authorization. The government can’t access your Google account without a proper legal process. You are protected if you acted within the law. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
